Sign our Commuter Cycling Pledge

Dunsmuir Separated Bike Lane

Cycling to work offers many advantages to cars and public transit - a morning workout, a pass on traffic, and zero carbon emissions. The last point is especially important given that 40% of Ottawa's carbon emissions are from transportation. And yet, only 2.2% of commuters bike to work.

Whether you are an avid commuter cyclist or have only begun to consider the possibility, we challenge you to push the envelop! Sign our Commuter Cycling Pledge and commit to a personal cycling goal that makes sense for you.
